This rock shelf was so cool. It was so smooth and large enough that the kids could have a shallow splashing area. Sophy was singing, "I believe I can fly..." while Jack pretended to do just that.
We visited a cavern near our camping site. It was a really interesting stop. Sophy, upon realizing how oozy, drippy, dirty, and "icky" the belly of the cavern was, immediately began asking to go shop for jewelry in the cavern gift shop where they had tons of stones and silver jewelry. She bought some dragonfly earrings, a necklace with a dolphin flipper pendant, and an elephant for her elephant collection chiseled out of green agate...or some such rock-mineral-thingy.
Our tour guide girl was so obnoxious. Y'all. Words can not express how spoofable this chic was. She was an episode of Saturday Night Live WAITING to happen. By the end of the hour and a half long tour, I had almost chewed through my tongue in an effort to not guffaw in her presence. She was hilarious, and she didn't even know it. Jack, ever the science nerd, looked at her all googley-eyed and breathless and said, "Wow. You're so smart."
I love this shot of the guys fishing.

You know what's funny? I just saw the water in your picture in the last entry and thought it looked familiar. And then I got to the cave picture and realized why-- that's the area where we spent our fifth anniversary back when we were living in Austin. I think. Cave without a name?
PS-- just realized that my icon pic is from the river that I'm thinking of...can't remember which one it was. The Gruene?
PPS-- I swear this is the last comment. Was I not supposed to try to "out" your location? Feel free to delete my comments.
Looks like and sounds like you all had a good time camping -- well at least the kids did. :)
Awesome pictures! Wish our camping trips looked like that. Our water cannot be (safely) entered for fear of gators and/or water moccasins. Yes, it really is not a good camping area here. Talk about being freaked out about not being able to see your feet in the water! Despite your "love" of camping adventures, it looks like you had a great time with your family.
